Hi, I wish to some kinds of help for transition to xfree86 4.2.0 after woody release. I've started `patch reviewing (and test build)' to transition from xfree86_4.1.0 to xfree86_4.2.0.
I think that xfree86_4.2.0 to merge into woody at this timing is very bad idea. I compleatly agree Branden Robinson at this point. Yes, we should focus to ``RELEASE Debian GNU/Linux 3.0'' :-) But changes between xfree86 4.1.0 and 4.2.0 are very very big, so starting some kinds of work for transition to xfree86 4.2.0 at this timing is good idea, I think. I've done reviewing all of the patches included in xfree86_4.1.0, and generate test .deb package, these are first conclusion (and some Question to Branden Robinson): About xfree86_4.2.0.orig.tar.gz XFree86 4.2.0 is now include TTF version of B&H font, but the license is DFSG non-free, I think. So B&H .ttf fonts are dropped from .orig.tar.gz (likes some Type1 fonts) Q: Is this OK? patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD*: These patches are merged into upstream 4.2.0-branch. patch #009, #013, #016, #021, #022, #026, #028, #029, #034, #035, #037, #038, #047, #049, #053. #250, #301, #302, #303, #308, #309, #350 These patches are already merged into upstream. patch: #001, #002, #003, #011, #030, #032, #039, #045, #056, #058, #061, #063, #065, #068, #070, #100, #311, #400, #801, #908 These are needed some kind of cleanup to apply. patch: #023 xc/util/patch was dropped from upstream source tar ball, so this patch is needed. PEX5 and XIE was obsoleted: libPEX5, libXIE and related header files, PEX5 fonts, Xserver modules for PEX5/XIE will be dropped from xlibs, xlibs-dev and xlibs-dbg, xserver-xfree86. xfonts-pex package will be dropped. Q: We should provide the package include only libPEX5.so.* and libXIE.so.* (e.g. xlibs-obsoletes) for very old programs? New libraries are added: libXTraps.so.1.0 libXrandr.so.6.0 Q: These will build as shared library in the default setting. Is this OK? libXvMC.a libfontenc.a New programs are added: luit xtrap* xrandr* and related manuals. Q: What package should contains these? First test build packages and sources are able to download from the URL bellow: primary: http://hanzubon.jp/Linux/Debian/XFree86-4.2.0/source http://hanzubon.jp/Linux/Debian/XFree86-4.2.0/i386 mirror: http://people.debian.org/~ishikawa/XFree86-4.2.0/source http://people.debian.org/~ishikawa/XFree86-4.2.0/i386 These are **NOT** apt ready. Because these are TEST builds, not for use. If you understand what these are, please download, test and comment :-) *** DON'T ASK ABOUT THESE PACKAGES to Branden Robinson *** *** AND DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THESE PACKAGES DIRECTLY *** I wish to discuss about these on this list.
